Guthrie, Ok
Thanx to the SMF, apparently I've become a pretty decent rib smoker. Seems another website I'm on a few people who had sampled the ribs were bragging on me. Another user of that website happens to be the executive chef of a spendy downtown Okc resturant (in a recently remodeled historic hotel) (I'm leaving some specifics out to protect the guilty lol) This chef has opened resturants in the MGM Grand in Vegas, the Bellagio, and Paris Hotel before he came here. He got tired of hearing about how good the ribs were so he and I agreed to a throwndown (Bobby Flay style). So me ( a no name person who I guess is decent with a smoker) is going up against a 5 star rated chef. I think I'll actually fare pretty well here but even if I lose...it'll taste good. I can't wait.
 
When is said event? Also you can video and put on youtube

congrats on the ribs rep. So you have your hands full for sure but I have never heard of a 5 star chef smoking anything but a good cigar. So go show him a thing or two.
 
Yeah, good for you! Have fun with it and no matter what happens, do them ribs just how YOU like them, and you're the winner!

Good luck! I'll stay tuned to see how it turns out...

This event would be fun to show up with the ugliest drum smoker you could make and throw your opponents to the wolves with what you serve out of it !!!
 
Sounds like a blast, man! That would be a great opportunity to make a name for yourself in the food world.

Don't sweat the event...keep your cool and do what you know works well and you'll do just fine. If your methods give consistent results, you can't go wrong. If the judges/taste testers know real Bbq, and the chef you speak of does not use a smoker, or doesn't use one often...well, he'll have some trouble making it to the finish line. Sounds to me like he's got somewhat of a handicap, in your favor.

Do what you do best, and it'll knock their socks off for sure!

Go kick his ass and rejoice in every second of it. Bobby Flay looses nearly 60 % of the time - may the force be with you !!!!
 
Don't let him back out!!!! Taunt him into it!!!!! Then smoke his shorts off!!!
Ya gotta get some pics of his face when he looses.....lol

I vote for the keep your cool and don't get fancy camp. Do your tried and true and don't worry about getting fancy. And kick his arse!!!! Can't wait to see the results!!!
